1. Planetary Networks: Climate Change

2. WEATHER AND CLIMATE Weather tells the environmental condition in a specific place. It can be rainy, sunny, windy or snowy. Climate describes the weather conditions expected in a particular place in a specific time of the year.

3. CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change refers to the significant change in the average conditions of temperature and rainfall in a particular region over a long period of time.

4. CLIMATE CHANGE An amazing scientific accord highlighted that global climate change is due primarily to the human use of fossil fuels that releases dioxide and alternative greenhouse gases into the air. The gases trap heat inside the atmosphere, which may have a variety of effects on ecosystems. the results square measure the following; (a) rising ocean levels, (b) severe weather events, and (c) droughts that render landscapes additional vulnerable to wildfires.

5. Global warming Both production and consumption of goods contribute to global warming. Production as in manufacturing utilizes technology that emits large amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Consumption produces wastes especially non–biodegradable one that pollutes the atmosphere when disposed through burning which also releases carbons.

6. DISADVANTAGES A. Failing economy will have a domino effect on its trading partner in another counter. This is evident among the European Union in which bail-out was made to save an economically failing nation.

7. DISADVANTAGES B. Wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of small group of corporate elite putting smaller competitors in disadvantageous situation resulting to weakening of their business capability that usually ends up selling their business to bigger companies.

8. DISADVANTAGES C. Introduction of international products and brand makes way for business domination of bigger and developed countries making the cultural exchange one-sided in favor of those who dominate the market.

9. Six Ways Climate Change Will Affect PH Cities Pia Ranada

10. Philippine cities will likely to experience at least one of these effects of climate change: More intense El Niño The El Niño phenomenon occurs when the surface of ocean waters on the southern Pacific becomes abnormally warm. The energy created by this warming is so great that it can create an imbalance in the weather in different parts of the world. El Niño can also make other weather events like storms highly unpredictable. Weather will have extreme highs and lows, making it “increasingly difficult to accurately predict weather patterns for purposes of planning and normal business operations,” says a WWF-Philippines study.

11. 2. Sea surface temperatures to rise By the end of the century, sea surface temperatures are expected to rise by 1 to 4 degrees Celsius. This can lead to more powerful storms because storms get their strength from heat rising from the sea. In the Philippines, 4 and 5 degrees Celsius spike above the normal sea surface temperature have been recorded. Warmer seas kill coral reefs and can thus lead to a decline in fish catch, putting food security in danger.

12. 3. Ocean acidification The shift in the pH levels of our oceans can lead to widespread coral reef death. Because of the imbalance, shrimps are not able to develop skins, oyster cannot develop shells. Fish larvae may not be able to develop bones. This further endangers food security and the livelihood of fishermen.

13. 4. Sea levels to rise by 4 to 6 meters Current data show an increase in sea surface heights. Scientists say this is due to the melting of ice sheets in northern portions of the globe like Antarctica and Greenland. Sea level rise by 4 to 6 meters can submerge low-lying communities like Tacloban City which stands 3 meters above sea level.

14. 5. Tropical cyclones to intensify The creation of tropical cyclones is already being recorded in areas where the phenomenon had never been observed. On Nov. 8, 2013, Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), said to be the strongest storm in recorded history, devastated cities in the Visayas.

15. 6. Rainfall, river flow, and flooding to intensify Monsoon rainfall in the Philippines will reach new highs and lows. Some parts of the country will experience an upward trend in rainfall while other parts will experience an intensification of drought. These two extreme poles of weather will make it more difficult for agriculture and aquaculture sectors which are highly dependent on weather. Philippine cities are already experiencing unprecedented amounts of rainfall. In Tacloban City, rainfall increased by 257% from 1998 to 2011. More rainfall will lead to more flooding and can trigger landslides in upland communities.

16. Solve climate change Paskill (2018) suggested eight (8) simple ways to help care our environment. In every little thing you make a difference. Use Reusable luggage If you're attending to mall for searching like grocery, food, and garments you would like to apply the plastic luggage. Mistreatment reusable luggage helps the atmosphere. Plastic grocery-type luggage that get thrown out find yourself in landfills and it takes years to decompose.

17. Solve climate change 2. Print as very little as Necessary Using such a lot paper is damaging to the atmosphere. If possible recycle the utilization writing paper for printing. If not, print on either side of the page to scale back the number of paper used.

18. Solve climate change 3. Recycle Instead of throwing recyclables within the trash along with your non-recyclables, recycle the materials of fine use. create a degree to require an additional step to separate reclaimable materials like cans, bottles, plastic and papers.

19. Solve climate change 4. Use a Reusable nutrient Containers In most school, fruit juices is served mistreatment plastic cups, rather than shopping for this cup of drinks on an individual basis, deliberate to use a reusable bottle. Not solely can this facilitate the atmosphere it saves your money for several of the campuses that provide water fountains designed for drinking still as for replacement reusable water bottles.

20. Solve climate change 5. Don’t Throw Your Notes Away Keeping your notes can facilitate the scholars by having the ability to scan what they're learning within the words of another student. If you can’t notice anyone to convey the notes to, at the terribly least, recycle the paper you used.

21. Solve climate change 6. Save Electricity! Use energy-efficient light-weight bulbs rather than regular bulbs. They last longer, which can save your money. Make you turn off lights, the TV, and other appliances when you are not using them.

22. Solve climate change 7. Save Water Water is wasted a lot frequently than we can see. Shut down the faucet as you're brushing your teeth. Don’t turn your shower on till you’re able to get in and wash your hair. Limit your water usage as you wash dishes.

23. Solve climate change 8. Avoid Taking Cars or Carpool as possible Cars square measure harmful to the atmosphere. Taking public transportation, walking, or riding a motorcycle are better options that help the environment and your budget, as well as getting some exercise.

24. Solve climate change Madaan (2018) also suggested that there is a solution to each problem, and suggested possible solutions to climate change namely: Stop Cutting down Trees: Believe it or not, cutting down trees is the prime reason of the climate change. Planting new trees can quickly scale back the speed of the emission of gases.

25. Solve climate change 2. Control Population: Yes, if the population is controlled, then climate change can also be controlled. How? Putting in simpler words, more number of individuals suggests that additional demand of resources like food and shelter resulted in additional usage or utilization of the earth.

26. Solve climate change 3. Less use of Fossil Fuels: The high discharges of the greenhouses gases are diminishing the ozone layer which gives global warming. It is then one of the major causes of climate change.

27. Solve climate change 4. Unplug your Devices: In almost every house, there are at least a dozen of appliances which includes air conditioner, television, microwave, washing machine and others. These devices lead to global warming, hence the climate change.

28. Solve climate change 5. Focus on Renewable Energy: Fossil fuels are going to be finished in an exceedingly few decades and it's time to maneuver towards the renewable energy. In several elements of the globe, several cities are using the energy from the renewable sources of energy which incorporates wind, solar, tidal, ocean and many more.

29. Solve climate change 6. Control of Methane Leaks: Surprisingly, methane is a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Every month, there is a huge quantity of methane leak from pipeline, storage tanks, other infrastructure, garbage dumps and coal mines.

30. Solve climate change 7. Tougher Emissions and Efficiency Standards: Most of the harmful gases are released either by automobiles or power plants. Many countries have already put strict rules in controlling the emissions.

31. Solve climate change 8. Experimenting the Earth: There are many experiments being done on Earth which might control climate change. Some ideas like, Geo-engineering, radical interventions to either block sunlight or reduce greenhouse gas are probably the last options to control the climate change.

32. Solve climate change 9. Upgrade in infrastructure: Buildings require cement and it is produced by heating limestone giving rise to the carbon dioxide level. Upgrade in infrastructure like, making the roads perfect, improving cement-making processes and investing in new infrastructure or radically upgrading existing highways and transmission lines would cut emission of greenhouse gas and control climate change.

33. Solve climate change 10. Personal Solutions to Global Warming: There are many steps which everyone can take in order to control the climate change. A small step by anyone can make a big difference. ▪ Drive less and cycle more while going to school or work. ▪ Upgrade your refrigerator and air conditioner, especially if they are more than five years old.
